Introduction to Distance-Time Graphs

What you'll learn

1. Understand what a distance-time graph shows
2. Identify the axes on a distance-time graph (time on x-axis, distance on y-axis)
3. Read distance and time values from a pre-prepared distance-time graph
4. Understand that a straight line represents constant speed
5. Recognize that a horizontal line represents rest (no movement)
6. Understand that distance does not decrease on a distance-time graph
7. Reads distance, speed and time from line graph
8. Plots distance - time graphs (avoid plotting return journeys and bodies moving in opposite directions)
9. Effective communication
10. Decision-making, problem-solving
11. Critical thinking
